This directory is divided into the following categories:

Or you search all entries below...

Local Motion

  • 1 Steele Street, Burlington, VT, 05401
  • 802-626-0737

This non-profit group is the authority when it comes to biking through the Green Mountain state. Check out their website’s interactive trail map. Or call ’em with questions.

Local Motion

  • 1 Steele Street, Burlington, VT, 05401
  • 802-626-0737

Local Motion doesn’t just support biking and blading — they get behind walking as well. They’re a great source for information about trails.

Mad River Glen

  • Rt. 17, Waitsfield, VT, 05673
  • 802-496-3551

Ski its expert terrain “if you can,” as the slogan goes, but leave your snowboard at home. No boarders allowed.

Magic Mountain

  • 495 Magic Mountain Access Road, Londonderry, VT, 05148
  • 802-824-5645

The Mad River Glen of the South — lots of ungroomed natural terrain and other gnarly stuff. Hit it right after it snows.

Middlebury Snow Bowl

  • Route 125, Hancock, VT, 05748
  • 802-388-4356

Not as dinky as it seems — the college-oriented Snow Bowl has some of the best steeps around. The Midd alpine ski team trains here.

Millstone Hill

  • 422 Websterville Road, East Barre, VT, 05677
  • 802-479-1000

Another destination area, the Bike Touring Center at Millstone Hill in East Barre maintains a 40-plus-mile network of bike trails — both challenging singletrack and more moderate ones — that circle dozens of old granite quarries and “grout” pile lookouts.

Morse Farm

  • 1168 County Road, Montpelier, VT, 05602

Mount Abraham

  • Lincoln Gap Road, Bristol, VT, 05443

At just over 4000 feet, Mt. Abe is one of Vermont’s tallest peaks. Along with Mt. Ellen, it’s on the section of Long Trail between the Appalachian and Lincoln gaps. An easier approach is via a side trail in the town of Lincoln.

Mount Mansfield

    From a distance, Vermont’s tallest peak resembles a human face. But you’ll notice steep rocks, tight crevices and even some ladders as you pass over the “Forehead” “Nose” and “Chin.” It’s a long, strenuous hike up the popular Sunset Ridge Trail.

    Mt. Philo is the perfect high-altitude locale for picnics with friends — your less adventurous buds can drive up the 968 ft. peak. Open from Memorial Day Weekend until October 19 every year. Drivers and walkers pay a fee at the top.
